Dear John, Serena and Shona, although I have never met you I did know how deeply loved you were by Barbara. I met Barbara many years ago through Karen and John and we communicated often during the intervening years. I am so deeply sorry for your great loss. I am sure Barbara has gone forth shining...I joined you all through the streaming as I live in West Cork and am an 81 year old with mobility issues. I thank you for that opportunity as I so very much wanted to be present. I send you all much love and will think of Barbara every day of the time that remains to me. With condolences, Susan (and Terry) Tuit

I just met Barbara this summer at a Moon Mna Retreat led by her beloved friend Karen Ward. I was honored to sit beside her in Circle and was conscious of being held by her warm and motherly energy and how she made us laugh. I feel blessed to have shared in her ceremony today and send love to her beautiful family.

I was heartbroken to hear that Barbara would soon leave us and have been devastated by her death. Barbara was an immediate soul sister and I loved her dearly. I joined her service today from Bergen, Norway and am deeply sorry for this tremendous loss to her family and friends. She loved you all so much. I know she will continue to watch over you. Her legacy will live on through her art, writing and books. One of my few regrets in my life will be that I did not meet Barbara in the flesh.

May the love of Barbara console you and comfort you, her family and friends.
Barbara was a soul of the earth carrying within her its beauty, might and tenderness. She is within the fabric that enfolds us all. Rest in her Love.

So very sorry to hear of Barbara's untimely passing. Go bhfóire a hanam álainn faoi shíocháin.

Our sincere condolences to John and girls on the death of
Barbara. Such a beautiful neighbour may she rest in peace.

Her aura was surrounded by flowers
She became close friends with my wife
In my own way I cried*
When I heard that she’d died
She had seemed so full if life
Now her spirit is swimming and sailing
And soaring in ways we can’t know
But I feel her scattering flowers
Like sunshine refracting on snow

*played a lament on the Uilleann pipes for her journey
